Without an atmosphere to steepen grazing trajectories one would think
that the Moon would be literally covered in tracks from tumbling
objects rather than nominally round craters. Simple geometry suggests
that the area of the moon exposed to low inclination trajectories
while sweeping up early orbital debris is far higher than the near
horizontal face exposed perpendicularly to high inclination, impacting
objects. Is there much evidence of tracks due to dense, high velocity
objects literally rolling on the Lunar surface before coming to a
halt? Is the Lunar surface particularly unsuitable for rolling?

BTW: The Lunar mass anomalies couldn't possibly be multiple examples
of Arthur C Clarke's monoliths could they? Well, what about buried
alien cities, then? ;-)
